Of necessity, the instructions for this assignment are somewhat vague. Each student will have to explore different resources and will need to develop an individual approach to the subject. The goal is a brief but detailed exploration of some narrowly defined aspect of Pop Lit in the early 20th century until now.
TOPIC: Your topic should address and advance your knowledge. Science and technology change too quickly to rehash old "stuff." Old "stuff," other than as background information, or to show progress in a particular area of research, is not advancing your knowledge and can produce misleading or wrong conclusions. Make sure the sources you use are up to date.
AUDIENCE: Your paper should be understood by a broader audience than scholars in your field. You will have to explain concepts and not expect your audience to understand in-house jargon. Pretend that I do not have any prior knowledge of the topic.
Final Product: Your final product should be a 4-10 slide powerpoint that gives information about your topic in an interesting manner for the audience.
Each slide should have:
1. The essential question that you want to answer.
2. Picture
3. 3-4 bullet points of information
